DonorsChoose Challenge 2012! So Long, and Thanks for All the Awesome

DonorsChoose Challenge 2012! So Long, and Thanks for All the Awesome



 

Our donation drive for DonorsChoose was such a big success. We raised $2,190 for projects on our Giving Page in just two weeks, and our match code was used for more than $10,000 worth of donations around the site. That means that between the matches and the money donated to get those matches, our community's total impact was more than $21,000.

That's amazing. I'm blown away. Thank you to everyone who was so generous!

And even though I'm sure you all donated out of the goodness of your hearts, you get prizes too. I just emailed each and every person who participated in this year's DonorsChoose Challenge, with a code for free software, and/or a notification about a cool prize headed their way in the mail. Everyone is a winner, but public school teachers and kids most of all. 

This is the stack of awesomeness I'm dropping in the FedEx box. Enjoy, everyone!

We gave to 22 completed projects, and if you still want to top off a project, our hand-picked Giving Page is still up, but one of the best things about DonorsChoose is using the search filters to find a project that speaks to you, whether it's from your hometown, your favorite subject growing up, or an interest you hold dear today. Like, I dunno, technology, maybe.

See you next school year for another DonorsChoose Challenge. Have a great summer...
